It 's The Middle Of Summer

We have observed two different short stories, one called “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, and another called “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. “Examination Day” is about how when a person becomes 12 years old they have to take an examination determining their intelligence. Anyone with an intelligence above the norm is considered unacceptable. Anyone smarter than the norm is eliminated. The story focuses on a very intelligent boy taking his Examination, and getting killed for being too smart. The story “All Summer in a Day” is about a colony on Venus that faces constant rain and the sun shining once every 7 years. The story focuses on a girl Margot, from earth who is harassed by the others on Venus since she remembers the sun being

Cho and the so-called ‘stranger’ faced each other, eyes widened, and mouths agape,” …Keiichi… Sensei?” Cho gasped,” Katsumo? What are you doing here?” Keiichi interrogated. The schoolgirl was speechless,” I never thought that a fragile thing like you, would be in a tournament, that isn’t a place for children,” Keiichi joked, crossing his arms. Cho eyed the burnt, dismantled right arm,” I know…It was you, who attacked last night, wasn’t it?!” She spoke, with anger in her voice. Keiichi smirked,” I do not deny it. I thought, if I had destroyed you all, I would be successful in winning this damn tournament, more quickly. But instead, that disgusting zombie had to backfire my plan!” The man finally snapped, his dark eyebrows furrowing. Cho asked

7/14/16 -Benjamin and Drew begin to fight over the cup of Ramen soup. Ms. Orbach explain to Drew that she did not give Benjamin permission to make a cup of soup. She tried to compromise and offered to split it between the two of them they started to fight. She took it from both of them. I had to break them up and tell them that fighting would not be allowed. Ms. Orbach said it is something they do, because they are competitive. I told her that there is a way to have healthy competition, but physical, verbal or emotional violence is not the answer. Before the night was over Ms. Orbach allowed all the children to some potato chips before bed. When they were done, they were told to go upstairs and get in bed.

The story “All Summer in a Day” is an example of a conflict. It is about a civilization on Venus and how it rains for seven years then the sun comes out for two hours then it rains again. There is a classroom in Venus that waits for the sun to come. One girl, Margot, lived in Ohio before coming to Venus so she was used to seeing the sun every day. No one believes her when she describes the sun.

When I visited Sweat-Winter, I observed the children deepy invested in their topic about birds. They were in meeting time and together they were discussing Maine birds and different ways we could attract them to the playground in the small community of Farmington. The kids learned how to make bird feeders and talked about the anatomy of a generic bird, the different noise and their diversity. They started with bird feeder and used specific materials to make them 3D. Posters and stuffed animals were all around the room to show different characteristics of the birds so the kids could experiment and observe birds every day.

I will be talking about why “All Summer in a Day”, by Ray Bradbury, is better than

In All Summer In A Day, Bradbury teaches readers that believing is not seeing. The girl in the story, Margo, tells her classmates she remembers what the sun felt like. They haven’t seen the sun in years and don’t remember anything about it. Since the class doesn’t remember the sun, they don't believe her. They decide they should lock her in the closet, the day the sun is supposed to come out. Right after the shining sun stops, they remember poor Margo.

In the story All Summer in a Day, by Ray Bradbury, the message brought out of it was that you have to take what you have or get what you want, because in life, there’s no time for waiting around. The main character, Margot, told all of the kids at school that it was going to be a sunny day, and they hadn’t believed her, which later proceeded with the children locking her away in the classroom’s closet. She had let them do this with little challenge, and she’d only tried to do something when it was too late. The children of the school came back later, but it didn’t matter anymore to Margot, because they had taken away the day she had been dreaming of for quite some time now. She hadn’t seen the sun, and now she just lost her opportunity for as long as seven years.

I dedicate this book to my brother because we both shared our amazing father and to any other fathers out there who try there best to be a good father.

Have you ever thought about how your surrounding affect the person you will become? The setting majorly affects the characters in “All Summer in a Day” and “Indian Camp”. In “All Summer in a Day”, the story takes place in the future on planet Venus. All of the children are stuffed up in a classroom, while it is constantly pouring outside. The kids are very happy when the sun finally comes out. On the other hand, in “Indian Camp” presents a very different early 20th-century rural setting in which Nick and his father take a boat across a river to an Indian Camp. They go to the Indian camp to help a woman going through a tough labor give birth. Nick is very uncomfortable in the very dirty, smelly and chaotic camp. While distinct from each

Ahh don't you feel the summer breeze.I think that Summer is the best season of all.I like Summer the best because of kid’s playing,4th of July and no slippery roads.

"(Y/n), (Y/n)! Wake up!" You awoke to the sound of banging on your apartment door. You sigh and pull yourself off of your sofa and open your door. "Nat? What the hell are you doing here its 6 in the morning" you say while rubbing your eyes. "Don't get pissed off at me Stark wanted me to tell you about the party he's hosting." You were never really interested in Starks party's mainly because of all the drinking. "C'mon your boyfriend Steve is going to be there" Natasha smirks "he's not my boyfriend" you roll your eyes. "Sure anyways

It was a gorgeous summer day. the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the world was at peace on the seemingly carefree sunday afternoon. church had just ended and the children ran fast and free ready to play. They ran two and twelve towards the town’s lake to go swimming, in order to ward off the heat of the noon sun. They stampeded through town bumping over numerous people and even one another to reach the cool blue waves. The menacing multitude took a sharp turn from the street to an old dusty road. The trees shook in the evening breeze and swayed slightly further when the children hurried by. Dust faintly clouded out the light that poured over the path. Finally they reached the dock and began to take off and swap clothes. The boys took off their shirts and pants and swam in their underwear, while the girls chose to go behind some nearby bushes.and exchange out their attire. When everyone was in they started to splash one another while laughing and shouting. A few of them dived under the water to search for fish and other sea life. When they came back, up two of them had seaweed, one held a starfish, and two others had a crab holding it by both sides. It was getting a little later in the day, but the kids were not quite yet ready to leave their fun to rest. They decided to play hide and seek even though the sun was beginning to make its descent behind the green curtains that were the distant hills. One child counted while everyone hid and waited. As he counted out

Back in the day, when I remember of me being a child and it was one of the best moment I could think of my childhood that happened in the summer, where good time start it and not too far off that it sound it like that we played in the water and we figured since it is a bit hot outside i was going to six flags and having some fun with our family and friend having an enjoyable time. Few things I would say about my childhood was also the summer time, when the sun was hitting my body my mom used to worry about me a lot so I would not get dark so she would tell me to put sunscreen on all the time even on my face and in front of my friends but back when I was little I did not get what or why she was saying that but now I get it on why. Sometime when I didn’t wear the slippers my feet would burn like I was walking in a fried pan but I were to just walk in grass with my wet feet and then a few seconds later same thing happens again so it was not point of walking in the grass but I still walked. I closed my eyes one time because my mom used to surprise me with friends coming over, going to swimming and having a picnic and playing with the park dogs, it would be so much fun but we had this curfew time to get back home and the only annoying thing was the bugs and bees around us that were biting out skins off and making us scratch and the dirt we use in or the mud that we use to make sand castles out of at the beach. I tried to look up and see if I would be getting some shade anytime

Summer is hot on the heels of Spring in spite of the roller coaster weather pattern some of us seem to be in right now. Trust me, before we know it we 'll be complaining about the scorching heat and oppressive humidity and wishing we could have just a day or two of those milder temperatures once in a while. Anyway, with summertime comes the decidedly American tradition of cooking out. Cooking out is one of my favorite Summer activities. What a great way to kill three birds with one stone. First and most obvious we all need to eat, even though some of us (myself included) could stand to eat a little less. So why not cook out? I don 't know about you, but for me there 's something almost magical about eating food that 's been cooked on a charcoal grill. It just seems to taste better. Maybe it 's an association thing like turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas, ham at Easter, cake on your birthday, liquor on New Years Eve - OK, maybe we shouldn 't go there. For my wife there 's magic in the idea of her not having to cook. She 's always up for letting me do the cooking! Let 's move on, shall we? Second, cooking out can help reduce energy consumption. Think about it. If you 're cooking outside you 're not heating up the house with the range and/or oven going while simultaneously running the air conditioner to cool the house down. That should make Al Gore and the "Inconvenient Truth" crowd happy. On the other hand, they probably wouldn 't appreciate the idea of burning charcoal
